yeah the main reason AMD isn't quite as price-gouged is that ROCm isn't quite as in demand as CUDA for non-gaming uses for GPUs.
the "Inglorious Treksperts" podcast just reviewed this episode last week.
one of them recited the whole "these words" monologue from memory - it is the highlight of a patchy episode.
that's reasonable.
bonus fun fact - the etymology is connected - "axle" comes from older words for "shoulder", or "armpit", which survives in some regional Englishes as "oxter" - the connection is apparently that you'd carry a person by putting their arms up and linking at the shoulders, much like an axle is how wheels carry a cart.
No, that's what I meant by not an axle.
But, come to think of it, we can swing our arms round and round, more than 360°.
How about this insect with a pair toothed gears? Not an axle, but still amazing!
"The juvenile Issus - a plant-hopping insect found in gardens across Europe - has hind-leg joints with curved cog-like strips of opposing ‘teeth’ that intermesh, rotating like mechanical gears to synchronise the animal’s legs when it launches into a jump."
right, even trains don't need diffs, the conic-slice wheels take care of turns fine without.
What's the point, if downvotes are no longer a factor in the YT backend?
extensive use of the "Don't recommend this video > Tell us why > I don't like this video" function, plus removing bad videos from my watch history after I stop watching, has got me a well-trained slop-free recommendations page with interesting new smallish channels.
I hadn't heard of that method.
can you show some examples of such images?
i believe there was some early speculation that the unprecedented temperature of the Trinity test might ignite the atmosphere, somehow making the nitrogen burn, but that would be a chemical reaction, not a nuclear reaction.
